The disagreement began in September when Wumi publicly criticised Afeez following comments he made about her during an interview on the African A-List podcast. Afeez had stated that her film roles reflected her real-life character, claiming that “violence is her comfort zone.”

Wumi clarified that she does not tolerate nonsense and reacts when provoked. She took to Instagram at the time to describe Afeez’s interview as rubbish, questioning why personal disagreements are brought to public podcasts.

The duo recently reconciled at the premiere of their colleague Odunlade Adekola’s movie. In a video circulating online, Wumi approached Afeez, knelt, and apologised for her earlier remarks, saying, “I’m sorry, sir. Please forgive me.” Initially hesitant, Afeez eventually lifted her up and embraced her.

On Tuesday, Wumi shared a post on Instagram stating that she has chosen peace and emphasised that elders should remain respected, even in moments of anger.

She wrote:
“I chose to apologise to our Legend because I am a true ambassador of culture, and even in anger, our elders should be off-limits. They deserve calm waters, not raised voices. Once again, to our fans and friends, no more grudges—I have chosen peace. Thank you for your forgiving self @officialafeezowo_fanspage @officialafeezowo.”
